Rev. 7. S. Halls Thanksglvinq
Sermon.

There are number of good things
in Rev. Halls Thanksgiving sermon de-
hVered in this place on Thanksgiving
day. We make a few extracts which
have the ring of the true metal:
The great question of capital and Ia
Dor is now pressing so heavily upon
this nation, and has grown a monster
of such huge proportions, that the peace
and welfare Of the nation is in immi-
nent peril unlss something is done TO
destroy its influence aud power. In re-
gard to this great evil would advise
the same as in regard to each and all
threatened evils; An united effort an
united christian effort. IL state and ma
tional legislation. We have had sutiic-
lent experience from Gods dealings
with nations in the past to learn the all
important truth, That no civil govern
ment can endure, or be permanent,
which is antagOnistic 10 him who holds
the destinIes OF nations IN his hands.
The intense spirit of cOvetOusness that
YIELDS capital must be modified or re-
moved. IL is said, "Ihe mills of the
gods grind slow - but our American
financial mill of to-day is geared with
elevators that carry ten or fifty grists
to the big monOpulist's garner while il
carries only q peck to the hopper of the
iabOring man. What
we need more than anything else IS that
we should feel God to be an eYer-pres
ent all-perVadiug presence, and that
we are accountable 10 him for the man
ner IN which we weld the elective fran
chise- This, and this alone, viii bring
Us good laws, and sustain us in our ma
tiOnal greatness and power. When
l1rr.-r-sar.r.
which way we shall vote, then the great
problem arising from the attitude of
capital toward labor is solved, and the
now great mOuied mOnOpOhst Will find
that by honest christian legislation the
producer and consumer have both been
awakened by conscience TO the fact that
their first duty commenced ut home
The true theory is,
think, that our religion should govern
our politics, never our politics govern
our religion. This thing of ignoring
the claims of morality in our political
actions is nothing less than practical
atheism Is it possible for a god-fear-
ing and gOd-serving people to say by
their actions in lie: we may under some
circumstance and conditions throw off
our allegiances 10 God and act indepen-
dent of, and contrary tOFhis law Some
LAere are WlO seem 10 Lnluk IL right on
Sunday to pray that God may bless our
government and give us pure, and tenn
perate and gOd-fearing rulers, and then
90 TO the ballot box, and there subordI-
nate their manhood, their religion to
the behests of party idol and charlatan
leader, and while saying to the Omnici
ent Eye, ''be thou shut, cast their bal
lots for corrupt, dishonest, Incorporate
and gOd-dlshOnoring and god defying
men to ill our state and national halls
of legislation; and thus hOnOring men
with the best gift the nation hath power
10 bestOW upon men who lear not God
nor keep his commandments.
Thank God, there are some men in
all our churches and parties who can
carry their religion and their consciences
with them to the ballot box, and by
their direction cast their ballots just as
they pray.

In another place we print a few ex-
tracts from the Thanksgiving sermon
Of Rev. l. s. Hall, on the great ques-
tions Of capital and labor, transporta-
ton, monopolies, temperance and the
spirit Of eovetousness, so universal in
this country. Mr.. Hall axes the same
position that the HERALD has occupied
and now occupies. Mr.. Hall says;
''When conscience and not partyism
decides which way we shall vote then
the great problem arising from the at
titude of capitol toward labor Is
solved" Mr.. Hall does not seem TO
have an exalted opinion OF those people
who pray that God may bless our Gov
eminent, and then go to the ballot box
and there subordinate their religion
and manhood to partyism by voting for
corrupt and Incorporate meu. Rev.
Halls sermon shows he is a close OBJ
server Of current events, and that he
clearly sees the drift Of things.

opinion that it may take several years

PROHIBITION TRIUMPHANT - The
Supreme Court Of the United States
has just rendered a very Important de-
cision in the case of Zeilold & Hagelin
that went up from Kansas. The HER
AID has not space in which to notice 1t
at length. The question settled is, that
a state has a right to prohibit the man
ufacture of malt or spurious liquors,
without compromising brewers and
owners Of dIstiIleries for shrinkage in
value Of their property by reason OF
such prohibition. This decision is a
far reaching one and settles the ques-
ton practically for the whole United
States. is a grand victory Tor pro-
hibition.

WAsHISGToS, Oct. 27.-From the annual
report of John B. Riley superintendent Of
Indian schools, to the secretary of the in
terror, it appears that the aggregate expen-
diture by the government for the education
of Indian children during the year was
81, OPS, ,S79, of which S719, ,S33 was expended on
account of the government boarding schools
and 1908, 300 for the support and education of
pupils at contract boarding schools, most of
which are under the control of religious de-
nominations The whole number of Indian
children between the ages of six
and sixteen years is 39.S2l. OF this
number 1882, or about 3715 per cent, at
tended school some portion of the year A
uniform system of text books and study and
teaching of English only are recommended.
The report says too much stress cannot be
laid upon the Importance of preparing native
teachers and to this end suggests that nor
NAL school department be established at the
home of large schools. Tho superintendent
makes the following recommendations That
an Industrial boarding school be established
near the Missouri river and adjacent to the
Sioux reservation; that schools be provided
for the tribes in Nevada; that commission
be appointed empowered TO make thorough
examination of the whole subject of Indian
education.
